This summer from Wednesday, June 26 - Monday, July 1 we will be riding the Great Allegheny Passage from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Cumberland, Maryland. Whether you're a seasoned pro at biking or relatively new, this trip is an exciting chance to grow personally, experience beautiful scenery, and enjoy faith-building bible study along the way. Each day, we share meals together, a time of Bible study, a few hours of biking, and lots of laughter. Throughout our trip, we'll stay at a mix of hotels and B&Bs. A support vehicle will carry our gear so that we can focus on riding and enjoying the trail. Read on for specific information for this year's trip!
